Paypal - If you're an Ebay seller you may as well give up!

Need to rant here....
Sold a jersey on Ebay. New old stock Mapei-Quickstep. Put XL in the title. Put XL in the appropriate category in the listing form. Put XL again in the description. For good measure I also put the exact armpit-armpit measurement in my description of the jersey.
My returns policy is that I only accept returns if the item differs from the description.
Some F*cktard buys said jersey at auction and decides it's too small. Paypal "investigates" and decides that I have to accept the return of the item and give the buyer a full refund.
I spoke to Paypal tonight and apparently even if I'd had a "no returns" policy, the outcome would have been the same!
Essentially, buyers rule and sellers can get r*ped for all they care.
Rant over. :evil:

Paragraph 2 within Ebay's own guide seems pretty clear!!!!
as it says, it applies only to a private seller. The OP appears to be selling as a business, rather than private seller (i.e. selling your own unwanted items)
Nope - I'm a private seller. I made this exact point to Paypal. Their response was that Ebay's rules apply to Ebay. Paypal have their own review system for each disputed claim and had decided that I had to accept the return of the jersey.
Yep - As soon as I receive it back from the buyer.

We refunded the purchase price, not the original postage nor the return postage, because the fault was entirely the buyers. If the thing was actually faulty I would have refunded the whole lot.
Buyer raised a dispute with ebay to get her postage back - ebay has settled the dispute in our favour
eventualy frame went for £200 leaving me £200 short of original bid price; ebay said they`d take actions against this false bid, but no recompense for me
